Outside My Window...
Blue skies, green grass and yellow waterlilies.
I am thinking...
how much I love the early morning quiet.
I am thankful for...
good friends that celebrate the holidays with us.
From the kitchen...
Monday-Taco Salad
Tuesday-Homemade Pizza
Wednesday-Honeyed Chicken Teriyaki
Thursday-Garlic Chicken Spaghetti
Friday-Green chile chicken and tortillas
I am wearing...
black pajama pants and T-shirt.
I am creating...
an embroidered hankie and lavender filled heart sachet.
I am reading...
Circle of Quilters by Jennifer Chiaverini
I am hoping...
the girls and Benjamin do well at their first swim lesson today.
I am hearing...
birds singing and the water garden fountain.
Around the house...
everything is tidy and ready for a new week.
One of my favorite things...
decorating with seashells
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
We have swim lessons every day this week. I'm going to start practicing piano again and order pictures for our family photo albums.
Here is a picture that I am sharing...
Emily's sunflower in full bloom.
Thank you for reading my Daybook!
I thoroughly enjoy the quilter books by Jennifer Chiaverini. They are perfect for summer reading!
